What the hell is it with TV documentaries where the backing music is so loud you can't hear the dialogue? I've tried every damn setting on the soundbar, but subtitles are the only solution.

“That means courts will treat these children like adults” is a sentence the premier actually used. Proposing life sentences for 14-16 year olds is evil. Meanwhile the federal government is banning kids the same age from social media. Too young to post online but not to serve life in prison.
These reforms violate human rights obligations, contradict the evidence and will be devastating for children and young people in conflict with the law.
Victoria’s ‘adult time for violent crime’ reforms will not solve the youth crime problem

well, i THOUGHT some of you had been a bit quiet lately
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Now I'm 5 weeks unemployed / retired, I can go for mid-morning walks. Tried to convince myself it was cool enough to wear my new sweater. I was wrong, look how glorious it is out there.

Judge: what evidence does the prosecutors put forward to prove that the defendant is guilty?
Lawyer: things that were… things that are… and some things…that have not yet come to pass.

🏳️⚧️ It’s Trans Awareness Month. This is a time to listen, learn, and lift up trans voices.
Trans people face growing barriers to healthcare, legal recognition & safety. Their stories are told about them, not with them. Media headlines debate their existence, politicians use their lives to win points

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2
